early morning

when the whole day is before you and maybe anything is possible...

We were hoping it would be possible to keep Biddy kitty with us for many more days. It was not. Today we said goodbye. Biddy kitty won't be opening doors anymore or peeking around corners only the way Biddy could. His perfectly beautiful face and spirit will always be with us. Amid tears, hugs, Biddy stories, Michael Jackson music and Mom's chocolate chip cookies we celebrate and remember our kitty Biddy.

tea + stars A sweet surprise, the local Jamba had new items this morning, instead of my usual matcha green tea smoothie, I tried the warm version, delicious and quite cozy (as the cup indicates) on a chilly morning.

come back A quick shower of rain fell a few nights ago, with promises from channel-such-and-such and channel-so-and-so that more was to follow...I awoke, peered out the window, walked, looked up into the gray clouds, did yoga, checked for raindrops in the parking lot...no rain, not today and tomorrow it is warming up again.

found.

in the morning light, my feet touching the floor for the first time today, petting three kitty heads while serving them breakfast, the rustic fence I passed while walking, pink flowers, sun flare, Hermie's stretch, and the day begins.

Good Morning...made myself a long list of things to do, and the day began with a visit to some Etsy blogs while drinking my tea where I found that  Stelabird is doing a sleepy owl ornament giveaway, her creations are so cute, take a peek.
